Anussava (Kesamutti Sutta). Buddha did not have much use of faith. He said 'check for yourselves'. Niggantha Natiputta had his own philosophy. Why belittle him? He had his own five jewels. Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya Aparigraha. Not bad. Not much different from what Buddha said.

In India, we are having great fun. War, Politics, Tariffs, Tax Cuts. Distancing from USA which wants to dominate us, not moving away from Russia, moving closer to China.

I know that. That is why I said 'they might'. Did not make a categorical statement. Chances are not high, but possibility cannot be ruled out. I do not have a soul. What is 'spirit realm'?

Well, Commandment of the Abrahamic God.

Government bore the cost of vaccination. We were just asked to come. In many places, health workers came by themselves. When we have 1460 million people to care about, cost matters. Therefore, no Pfizer.

Youtube videos and scriptures talking of God's displeasure :D. Economic upheavals happen at times. But then the world settles down to a changed order. Of course, the snake-oil sellers, Abrahsamic God's Covenants, in their many versions, will not leave humanity alone. Humans will correct...

It is possible that molecules of our body meet each other somewhere, at sometime. They might be doing so even at this moment. After all, the exhaled air has molecules which were once part of our bodies.

the whole problem, people who swear by Emperor's new clothes.

I am clearly pro-vax and will argue in its favor. India had a good experience with vaccines. Polio, Smallpox, Covid, or vaccination in children. Of course, I have no authority to force anyone if the person is anti-vax.

Where? Buddha images are everywhere.

There is no fun in being common. I am not. :D Why? Reincarnation is coming back of molecules as part of living or non-living things. If the calcium part of ashes of my body goes to form a sandstone, then I have reincarnated as a sandstone. .. The rest is your take, whatever you believe.

Yeah, till we get the right answer, researchers will proceed according to their subjective bias. When we get the answer, the bias dissolves and everyone agrees.

Can people be "smarter" than their ancestors, or at least more advanced that their predecessors? We have access to more knowledge now, but every one may not be using that. Being smart means handling their situation in a better way. I think we are sort of at par with our ancestors in that...

"Discoveries in physics and various scientific fields can point toward the complexity of creation, suggesting that belief in God is reasonable." That is where BS begins.

For me, appreciation of what science has achieved till now, their strict system of verification, and the belief that in the times to come, they will continue to progress as they have done till now.

I have never needed them, bor will ever need them. I get better from Hinduism and Buddhism.

Reincarnation is real, in chemical sense, it is chemical recycling of the molecules of our body; but not in the sense that we have a soul and the soul will come back to earth in a different form.

We are pagans. Every living being was respected, humans, animals, trees. Cow doubly so. We wove them into our mythology.
